Unlikely goal hero Georgian defender Kakhaber Tskhadadze scored his second goal in two goals with a powerful header from Kevin Horlock’s corner to give City the lead in a game they had dominated.
Then in the last minute of schedule time substitute Danny Allsop made it 2-0 to give City a good platform to progress in the second leg at Maine Road.
